A good way of shifting your mentality if you’re apprehensive about something like pursuing a change of career, a new hobby or whatever, is to ask yourself the question “what if it all worked out?”.
It’s a simple thing but it can completely alter how you approach things.
Wtf? The state doesn’t own our bodies.
I’m strongly in favour of assisted dying. If an animal is too ill and can’t be cured, we do the humane thing and put them down so they don’t suffer. Yet if it’s a human who is terminally ill, you’re just told to suffer. How do animals have more rights than we do in death?
I’ve never understood how it’s considered the “moral choice” from opponents of assisted dying to let people suffer.
How?
In the UK between the period of March 2020 and October 2022, there were only 88 deaths due to COVID for people under the age of 18.
Children? During COVID?
What were they dying of?
News and the media in general preys on fear. They want you to be terrified because it makes you watch the news and read the papers and their websites. They hype up anything that will scare you.
The whole COVID period proved that.
The internet being a “place” you would go to and then leave.
That’s almost impossible to do now because everything is so linked to being online.
Off to see the All-England Badminton Championships tonight. Then football and rugby on TV tomorrow.
Very sporty weekend!
Lake. Just driving around delivering mail and parcels and communicating with the residents, whilst listening to the soundtrack is so soothing.
Stressing about a job interview tomorrow. 😬
I’m on the front row both nights as well so I’ve got to be extra quiet!
Luckily the cough I’ve had recently has eased, otherwise I’d probably get a cue in the face.
I’m off to the snooker in Telford tonight and tomorrow, so looking forward to this weekend!
People commenting on things that are not aimed at them, or complaining about it.
Like seeing an advert for guitar lessons with a phone number attached, calling the number and telling them how much you really don’t want guitar lessons, when all you had to do was ignore it.
The Ricky Gervais joke about guitar lessons applies.
My time on Reddit has dropped substantially since I can’t use third-party apps for it anymore, but I still login occasionally for the niche communities that don’t exist here, just like you do.
Use whatever website or app you want and don’t worry about what some nerds on the internet might think about it.
This is why I don’t understand all the hysteria about this.
If I don’t want to see Threads or I don’t want Threads to see me, I can go to a Threads account and click “block threads.net”.
But obviously that’s too complicated and it’s easier to just whinge to your instance admin about how Threads federation will be the death of us all. 🙄
You seem to think I support either of them.
Yes.
Biden has been a damp squib of a President, so even if people dislike Trump they’re not going to come out in force to vote for Biden again, whereas Trump supporters certainly will.
In fast food restaurants in the UK, you get your own napkins or they give you them on the tray when you collect your food. Or in some other non-fast food restaurants, they will bring napkins with your cutlery after you’ve ordered your food.
This is how it has always been and it’s a slightly strange thing to get upset about.
MTG thinks it’s a sign from God: https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1776282144416972941
